So boring. Nothing here but politics, which should be in the other thread.

In addition, he claims that my campaign is dying.
Comrades! It is still very much alive! From eternity, to infinity, remember?
BRENDONIANISTS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
Neck-Breaking News!

Trolls' Bane is now accusing President Hector of accusing him in return for his accusations that he was a flip-flopper!
A suit has been filed with the Entmoot Supreme Court, and the case will be taken to court.
More as this develops...

Even more broken news than that which was previously broken!!

SHATTERED NEWS!! (far superior to "breaking")


Rumors have been circulating in the absence of the licensed press that independent, unprofessional, amateur, news services were taking over; I'm writing this now to quell such heinous gossip. While we encourage all to come adn drink long from the fountain of knowledge data and information. We will never leave you without authorized and highly skilled masters of sophisticated and factual fake entmoot news. As the creator of the Entmoot News Service and thus inspiration for all its subsidiaries, like the teacup news service and the various op-ed publications written by regular joes like sisaunt and Hector, so as creator I would like to tell you all that when it comes artificial media, I hope you will think of us as the original, slanted, biased, but open and honest up front about why we're slanted unlike news services in Real Life that are slanted and biased but not honest about it.

Page 2


In the political realm, Jams numbers have gone up since he placed a campaign ad in his signature and due to the frequency of his posts his name coupled with the word president has received a lot of attention.

Troll's Bane has also seen a major jump in numbers thanks to an exclusive interview on Dr. Zaius's radio show

Acally and Nurv have held steady thanks to name recognition.

Durin's Bane has held steady, due to unknown factors.

Finrod and Sane have held steady thanks to a long history on the moot and very possibly, Sane's Imperial connections.

The Teacup Table News
Incredible, Edible News!

In a recent impassioned speech given at the Green House dining hall, President Hector viciously condemned murder and the slaughter of children. "It is becoming more and more acceptable, this kind of murder," he said. "And I plan to stop it NOW!"
He was thunderously applauded, and everyone had a good time.

In developing news, the president's spokesman has gone in for surgery AGAIN. Apparently his brain was growing back... (bwahahahaa...sorry RTR, it was just too good to pass up).

News: Sundered into many shards!!

News that has been ground into dust by libel.

That is the subject of this afternoon's talking points memo. As many of you know the press is under attack by random posters that think insults = news the fact is ladies and gentlemen that these people are probably just out for a good time, but the damage they do to the integrity of journalism is deafening (if not totally irreperable). I would like you to read between the lines when you see an op ed, and discern what kind of article you're reading. When people take something as important as our information into their own hands for their own insulting purposes, its up to us to let them know that it is not appreciated.

and thats a memo.

As a GreenHouse press release informs us,

MOOTNEWS OUTLET
"Don't wait for Download, Plug in to the Outlet"

Wood be () pundit and presidential spokesman RohirrimTR is nearing his 2000th post.

We salute his loquacity.

And this festive occasion gives us an opportunity to doff our caps in salute to the giants of the free press, none of whom are anywhere near here, and to reflect for a moment on the defining elements of that fine institution.

A free press is not run by the spokesman for the current administration, particularly as that administration threatens to jail dissenting press outlets.

A free press is not controled by the campaign manager of any current candidate. ref. William Randolph Hearst.

A free press doesn't admit in public to making up its facts and statistics. Takes a lawsuit to get that info.

But, such substantive quibbles aside, we salute Rohirrim for his significant contribution to the confusion here, and look forward to reading (and possibly dissecting) many more posts from him.

Long Live Rohirrim! May his pen never grow duller.

Thank you, thank you and thank YOU

Considering I don't use a pen I don't think it will grow dull, but thanks for the sentiments.

Ruptured News!!!

Coming to you know from Swedish Medical Center!

General Sane is greviously ill due to as yet unknown reasons, having been so for the past few days. General Sane has been putting up a fight for her lungs for quite some time now, and at times often is seen to be losing.

As she puts it, "I can kick arse on the field of battle against any army you put me up against, but, when it comes to a civil war in my body, I always come out losing! {explitive} {explitive}!!" Those last few words were unprintable.

At the moment she is waiting to have (more) blood drawn. "Lovely."

That has been the ruptured news for now. Good day!
